A system to deter misuse through enhanced accountability. Every time a TASER cartridge is deployed, 20-30 small confetti-like Anti-Felon Identification (AFID) tags are ejected. Each AFID is printed with the serial number of the cartridge deployed, allowing law enforcement to determine which cartridge was fired. This system was originally developed to prevent misuse of TASER devices by private citizen users. Since 1994, AFID has proven very effective in deterring misuse of TASER devices. In law enforcement applications, it provides another layer of accountability in documenting which officers deployed a TASER cartridge in any given incident.
